Resource person: Audra Bullard

Description:

During the Holocaust, ordinary people did extraordinary things at great risk to resist the oppressive Nazi regime to save family, friends, and strangers. The type of resistance depended on who you were, what kinds of resources and networks you had, and how the war impacted the country where you lived. Resistance often went beyond courage. Despite terrible odds and ultimately an unfathomable loss of lives, Jews and non-Jews did not go like sheep to slaughter but defied Nazi ideology, helped the Allies, and saved thousands of lives.
